If God wants
Historical and Islamic notes
The Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, was asked where was God Almighty before He created His creation? He said, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, there was in a cloud what was above it was air and what was below it was air, then there was God and there was nothing other than Him and His Throne was on the water, then God created the Pen and wrote everything in the remembrance and created the heavens and the earth, for God Almighty is the Great Creator who created everything and created everything From non-existence, and that He, Glory be to Him, was before everything, and that perpetuity belongs to Him alone, and that He is the Creator of time and the Creator of place, and He singled out Himself, glory be to Him, for Oneness, which is one of His great attributes, for He is the One, the Unique, the Eternal, He did not beget, nor was He begotten, and there is no equal to Him, and He is the First and the Last, the Outward and the Inward, and He is over all things powerful. . I know everything
the pen
Then the first thing that God Almighty created was created. On the authority of Ubadah Ibn Al-Samit, may God be pleased with him, he said The Messenger of God, Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, was the first thing that God created the pen, then He said to it, “Write.” Then it ran at that hour with what will happen until the Day of Resurrection. God determined the destinies of the creatures fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth. On the authority of Imran Ibn Husayn, may God be pleased with him, he said: We were with the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, when a group of the people of Yemen came to him, and they said, “We have come to you, O Messenger of God, to understand him in religion, and to ask you about the beginning of this matter, how it was.” He said, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, it was God, and there was nothing other than Him, and His Throne was on the water, then He wrote in the Remembrance, which is the Preserved Tablet, everything, everything that exists until the Day of Resurrection, then He created the heavens and the earth
throne
If we start, the Throne is the greatest of creation, the largest, the widest, the middle, and the highest. It has been said that the distance between their two extremes is a journey of fifty thousand years. And that is as God Almighty said in His Holy Book, the angels ascend to Him on a day the length of which is fifty thousand years. It was said, then God Almighty created the pen, then He said to it, “Write.” So the pen ran at that hour with what will happen until the Day of Resurrection. God Almighty is the angels, so they said our Lord, why did you create us? He said to carry my throne. They said: Who is able to do that? God Almighty said, according to the tradition. He said, “Say: There is neither might nor power except with God, and He will carry you . ” God bless him and grant him peace, when he narrated from them, he said, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, allow me to narrate about one of God’s angels who bears the throne, but between the lobe of his ear to his shoulder is the distance of seven hundred years
Close angels
And they and those around the Throne are close angels, meaning the angels, all of them worship God Almighty, and they have a pride in praising, sanctifying and praising Him. In a hadith mentioned in Sahih al-Bukhari, may God have mercy on him, that the Prophet Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: If you ask God, then ask Him for Paradise, for He is the closest of Paradise and the highest of Paradise, and above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful, and from it gush forth the rivers of Paradise
the chair
And the throne is under the throne and the greatest of creatures after it, and the heavens and the earth are all smaller than the size of the chair, as God Almighty said about the breadth of His throne, the heavens and the earth, on the authority of Abu Dhar, may God be pleased with him, that he asked the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, about the chair, and he said: What are the seven heavens in the chair but like a ring thrown on the ground? No, the preference of the Throne over the Chair is like the superiority of that over that ring, and this means that the seven heavens in relation to the Chair are like a small ring thrown in a vast desert, and the Throne in relation to the Throne is also like a small ring thrown in a vast desert. Al-Lawh al-Mahfooz until the Hour begins. Books of interpretation and others have mentioned traces of Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with them both, in describing al-Lawh al-Mahfooz. Including the tablet is of ruby red. Above him is attached to the Throne, and below it is in stone. His book is light, and his pen is light. God Almighty looks at him every day three hundred and sixty times, not one of which is a look except that he does what he wants, exalts the lowly and lowers the high, enriches the poor, and thinks the rich, giving life and death as he pleases. effect. On the authority of Ibn Abbas, may God be pleased with him, he said: “There is no god but God alone, whose religion is Islam, and Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger, so whoever believes in God and believes in His promise to His Messengers will be admitted to Heaven”
Amounts of creatures
Fifty thousand years after God, the Mighty and Majestic, wrote down the decrees of creation, then God, the Mighty and Majestic, authorized the creation of the heavens and the earth. God Almighty created it in six days. As His Majesty said in Surat Hud, the Almighty said
And He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and His Throne was on the water, that He might test you, which of you is best in deed
And God Almighty began by creating the earth first, then He created the seven heavens, and then after that the earth brought forth all that is in it of water and pasture by the command of God Almighty. The Almighty said: And after that He spread the earth, He brought forth from it its water and its pasture, and the mountains He established it. On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, he said, the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, took my hand and then said: God Almighty created the soil on Saturday, He created the mountains on Sunday, He created the trees on Monday, He created the hated on Tuesday, He created the light on Wednesday, He spread the animals in it on Thursday, and He created Adam, peace be upon him. After Asr on Friday, at the end of creation, in the last hour of Friday hours, between afternoon and night. And if God Almighty wanted to create all of that, He would have created it in an instant, rather in nothing of time. He is able, Glory be to Him, to say and it will be in the face of what He wanted it to be.
God's will
However, He, may He be glorified and exalted be He, wanted to teach His created servants kindness, steadfastness in matters, adoption of reasons, and gradualism in doing things. And that everything has a term and a measure, Glory be to my Lord, lightning waving, the sound of thunder resonant, the clouds swaying from it branches, the waves are high, boasting of its strength, the sun is shining, it seems to be important, the jinn is in its den, its image did not appear as clear as the sun, the devil, the earth is shaking, the flags are vertical, the thought is at a loss, and the mind is at a loss. Glory be to my Lord, the Most High, the Powerful. And the magnificence of the universe is signs and a manifestation of your mercy, my Lord, for I am a Friday in history, with what my hands have made, and the guilt is a loss. This and God knows best and highest. May God bless and grant peace to our master Muhammad and his family and companions. May you always be in God's care and security. Peace, mercy and blessings of God
